Water Is Leaking From The Bottom Of The Washing Machine

My washing machine is only 18 months old and it's leaking water from the bottom. I checked the hoses at the back and the inlet connections and everything appears to be fine. I washed a load 10 hours ago and water is still leaking from underneath. What could be the problem?
